Butternut squash soup can be a healthy choice as it is typically low in calories and fat while providing a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as fiber and potassium, though the overall healthiness can vary depending on ingredients and preparation methods.

Butternut squash soup is indeed a healthy choice, as butternut squash is rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and potassium. However, the addition of cream or other rich ingredients can increase the calorie and fat content, so opting for lighter versions or using alternative creamy bases like coconut milk can make it even healthier while still delicious!
